[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a sample of the present invention.

[0029] All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Figure 1 As Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a clamp-type ultrasonic flowmeter measurement structure for measuring the flow of a pipe body 8, comprising: two sensors 1, both of which are arranged in a protective shell 3 through a mounting plate 2.

[0031] The sensor 1 includes a piezoelectric sheet 101 , which is fixed on the mounting plate 2 via a pressing member 106 , and a buffer pad 102 is provided between the pressing member 106 and the piezoelectric sheet 101 .

[0032] Detail A: An elastic buffer pad 102 is installed on the piezoelectric sheet 101 to improve the propagation efficiency of ultrasonic waves to the contact surface of the sensor 1 mounting plate 2.

[0033] Each sensor 1 also includes: a circuit board 103 fixedly arranged in the protective shell 3, the circuit board 103 is electrically connected to the piezoelectric piece 101, and the circuit board 103 is fixedly connected to a signal line 104, the signal line 104 extends to the outside of the protective shell 3, and the connection between the signal line 104 and the protective shell 3 is sealed by an O-ring 9.

[0034] The O-ring 9 can fit tightly between the signal line 104 and the protective shell 3 , effectively preventing external impurities such as dust and water vapor from entering, and providing strong guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the circuit board 103 .

[0035] One of the protective shells 3 is fixedly connected to an indicator light 105, which extends into the protective shell 3 and is connected to the circuit board 103. The indicator light 105 is used to cooperate with the circuit board 103 to display a specific detection status.

[0036] The protective shell 3 is fixedly connected to the clamp 4, and the protective shell 3 and the clamp 4 are locked by driving the clamp 4 through two screws.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting plate 2 is structurally recessed in the protective shell 3. When the clamp 4 is fixed to the protective shell 3, a gap is left between the mounting plate 2 and the clamp 4. The purpose is to ensure that there is a certain gap between the sensor 1 and the clamp 4 to prevent the ultrasonic wave from being transmitted to the clamp 4, thereby improving the propagation efficiency of the ultrasonic wave of the sensor 1, reducing clutter, resisting interference, and increasing signal strength.

[0038] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the clamps 4 are each provided with a groove that matches the tube body 8 to be tested, and the two clamps 4 cooperate with each other to wrap and clamp the tube body 8 to be tested, and the two mounting plates 2 are each provided with a protrusion 201 that contacts the tube body 8 to be tested.

[0039] The clamp 4 is provided with a pipe wall sealing ring 5 between the raised portion 201 and the pipe body 8 to be tested. When the two clamps 4 wrap and clamp the pipe body 8 to be tested, the sealing ring of the pipe body 8 deforms to seal the raised portion 201 .

[0040] Detail B: The pipe wall sealing ring 5 deforms toward both sides during installation to seal the raised portion 201, reducing the amount of ultrasonic waves passing through the air during propagation and improving the accuracy of the detection data.

[0041] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, a clamping rubber ring 6 is provided at both ends of the groove. When the two clamps 4 wrap around and clamp the tube 8 to be tested, the clamping rubber ring 6 drives the clamps 4 and the tube 8 to be in a static state when they cooperate. The clamping rubber ring 6 also plays a sealing role, sealing the groove and improving the overall detection effect.

[0042] The clamp 4 is fixedly connected to multiple sets of limiter assemblies arranged axially along the tube 8. Each set of limiter assemblies consists of two limiter rubber rings 7, which are located on either side of the tube 8 to be measured. The two limiter rubber rings 7 deform to clamp the tube 8 to be measured. Generally, two sets of limiter rubber rings 7 are used, upper and lower, to ensure the straightness of the measured part during the measurement of plastic pipes.

[0043] In this embodiment, a flow meter measuring device may be provided, which uses the above-mentioned measurement structure.

[0044] The embodiments disclosed in the present invention are preferred embodiments, but are not limited to them. Ordinary technicians in this field can easily understand the spirit of the present invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and changes. As long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
